What is Penelope's Odyssey?

You play Penelope, an abandoned pet rat searching for her owner, in a free, single-player adventure-platformer set in a post-apocalyptic city. You explore a multilevel environment in third person, sniffing out routes, jumping, climbing, and tightrope walking while collecting memories of your owner. Movement increases hunger, so you also need to find food.

For you if...

+you enjoy exploring the world from a small animal's perspective

Not for you if...

−you prefer shared adventures to strictly single-player games
